II CHEYENNE & BURLINGTON.
The western division of the Cheyenne
& Burlington has Holyoke, Neb., fer n
terminus and this city for the western
end. The intervening stations are, going
east, Aricola, Devon, Chatoga, Siding No.
2, Stoneham, Sterling, Siding No. 90.
The division is a rather lengthy one, it
being l55 miles from Cheyenne to Hol-
yoke. From the latter place to Curtis is
107 miles; from Curtis to Holdrege, Neb.,
Is miles; from Cheyenne to Holdrege,
1876 miles. Freight and passenger trains
now run to Holyoke. From that point a
mixed or accommodation train is run to
Cheyenne. The passenger service will
make its advent on or about the LIST prox.
The accommodation train is composed of
freight cars, a coach and baggage car.
Subioined is a schedule showing the time
of arrival and departure at and from
Cheyenne:
BOUND WEST.
Arrive. Depart.
No. l is a. m.
BOUND EAST.
Arrive. Depart.
No 1 100 p. IN.
These trains leave daily. No. 157 leaves
Holyoke at . O'Clock p. M, making the
trip to Cheyenne in twenty-three hours
and fifteen minutes. No. 1853 travels over
the division in twenty-five hours and five
minutes, reaching Holyoke at 1855 D.
m. Stoneham, eighty-four miles east OF
Cheyenne. is the meeting and passing
point. Mountain time will be used west
of Holyoke, standard time east of that
point. j. r. Phelan, assistant superin-
tendent at Holyoke, Neb., will control
the affairs of the Western division. Al
though the road bed is new no accidents
have occurred, and trains are run with
that staid regularity which is supposed to
be the exclusive property of other lines.
The freight service will be increased SO
soon as the business of the company war
rants it.
THE NEW FLYER.
The appended associated press telegram
contains the most reliable information at
present obtainable in regard to the new
Union Pacific thunderbolt train:
The announcement is made that the
new overland time table will go into effect
December 81, in conformity with lthe
shortening up of time between Chicago
and Omaha. Trains which leave Chicago
at 7:30 p. M. will arrive at Omaha the
next morning, Ogden on the second night,
and San Francisco at 1910 a. m. on the
third day, or three days and fifteen hours
for the overland journey. The time from
San Francisco to Chicago is shortened
three days and twenty-one hours.
Aside from those sentences in which
uSulCS III iuCOl pOldbSu LuC dDONS SldJC-
ments are very indefinite. Railroad men
here are of the opinion that the train spe-
CITED will reach this city about 4:30 o'clock
the morning after leaving Omaha. The
official time table will be issued in a few
days, and reliable figures will her be
available.
In this connection it might be well to
gently remind the merchants of the West
that every move at present made by
the common carriers tends to facili-
tate business. A cut in rates followed by
an unprecedented reduction in time should
be most gratifying to those who will be
benefited by the innovations. 1t is use
less to continue in this strain, however,
for doubtless none will quicker recognize
the advantage accruing from the changes
than these self-sane long-suffering mer-
chants.
A MISHAP IN THE YARDS.
